- Abstract
This study develops a state-wise Sustainable Livelihood Security Index (SLSI) by combining the Economic Efficiency Index (EEI), Social Equity Index (SEI), and Ecological Security Index (ESI) during 2000-2018. Thereafter, it examines the impact of climatic and geographical factors on Sustainable Livelihood Security (SLS). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique, linear, log-linear, and nonlinear regression models are used for the aforesaid investigations. The descriptive results reveal that India's SLS increases with economic efficiency, social equity, and ecological security. There is high diversity in SLS across the Indian states due to variations in climate change and economic efficiency, social equity, and ecological security associated variables. It also finds that minimum temperature, precipitation, rainfall, and latitudinal location of the respective states have a negative relation with SLSI. Based on the empirical results, it is suggested to focus on the indicators that have a positive association with SLS. Moreover, there is a need to implement effective policies to eliminate the impact of climate change on SLS in India.
